they chose in a weak economy in 2010 not to do that because they knew that would hurt the economy. quite frankly, we have the same economy now that we had two years ago. consumer confidence is up, but total gdp growth has done down the last two years slightly but continuing to go down. we're not in a better spot right now to raise taxes like two years ago. >> tom coburn is talking about getting the rates up for the top 2%. here he is on abc news. just want to play it. >> okay. >> sorry. i'll read it to you. it's a graphic. we have no leverage on that, so whether we want taxes to go up or not, they're going to. we can't stop it from happening. the real elephant in the room is entitlements. taxes go up at the beginning of the year if you don't do a deal. the only deal is have them go up on fewer people than they otherwise would. that seems to be something that a republican would -- you don't have a lot of leverage? >> that's the challenge dealing with democrats like howard dean and others that say let's raise it on everybody. that creates this situation where we haves in a bad idea.

. >> but why would you cut spending then, spending that's supposed to encourage the economy to get better so you get more growth and get rid of your deficits? >> i think -- well, i think we should, one -- first of all, we have to pay down the debt he ran up. we're spending $1 trillion more each year, the federal government -- we, the federal government is spending $1 trillion more each year than when obama walked into office. it's that overspending we need to bring down. raising taxes doesn't solve the overspending problem. it feeds it. and, again, we have been through this lucy and the football thing in '82, in '90. we didn't take the advice of the tax increase last year, and we got spending restraint for the debt ceiling. remember, the republican house has a tremendous power over the debt ceiling. so all this stuff about how we have to bend to the emperor's will isn't true. >> all right. grover norquist, thanks very much. we appreciate yourtation the time tonight. let's bring in james carville and rihan salaam. good to see you. grover norquist is not bending. not yet. >> well, president
